Chapter 270
When Lady Cyan paid a visit to her son, her perfect brows furrowed at the sight of the little diamond white tiger that curled his bloodied body in the corner of the room. He was barely alive after the torture that he received from Alan.
She knew his son well and this sight didn’t surprise her, but she didn’t like the sight of blood, especially in something so unorganized like this room.
She couldn’t even tell this was a crown prince’s room, because everything inside had been broken while shards of glasses littered the entire floor.
“Mother…” Alan called her, but he stopped approaching Lady Cyan when he noticed dissatisfaction on her beautiful face.
“Prepare another room for the Crown Prince,” Lady Cyan said, as she turned around and walked out of the room. Alan followed her.
“Mother, how could father reproach me so harshly? This is unfair! His son almost died at the hands of that mutt! But, he actually sided with that slave alpha!” Alan complained right away to his mother, like a five year old boy, though he was in his late twenties already.
Lady Cyan was the King’s favorite mistress, the King liked her more than he liked his queen. Even though she was no longer as young as the Queen, her beauty was something that you would rarely see. There was something about her that would attract you and demand your full attention.
She was a shrewd and elegant lady, thus people couldn’t understand how a woman like her could give birth to such a clueless son like the Crown Prince.
“Mother!” Alan blew his top again when his mother ignored him, but as soon as Lady Cyan stopped walking and turned around to finally face her son, a harsh slap landed on his face.
It was strong enough that Alan stumbled back on his feet and fell on his back. His eyes widened in surprise when he tried to register what had happened.
In front of him, his mother stood tall with dignity, but her eyes were ablaze with rage. This was the first time for Alan to see his mother so enraged, especially toward him.
This was also the first time his mother slapped him.
“Mother, why did you…” Alan blinked his eyes, trying to comprehend the whole situation.
“You are a disappointment.” Lady Cyan glanced at the two warriors that stood close to them and they immediately helped Alan to stand up, while he was still reeling with a mix of emotions. “When will you learn to listen?”
The King and she had warned him to keep his mouth shut and not to escalate the situation, as they would handle it, but this disgraceful son of hers didn’t listen. He opened his mouth and ruined the plan that the King and she had concocted.
“I coddled you so much, until you don’t even know how to think and learn to read the situation.” Lady Cyan narrowed her eyes, while Alan lowered his head. He looked like a little boy, who was being reprimanded by his parents for misbehaving.
The sight of this made the royal warriors frown. How could someone like him be entrusted with the whole kingdom?
What would happen when he finally ascended the throne?
Sensing the questionable gazes from the warriors, Lady Cyan closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She reined in her emotions, it wouldn’t look good for her and Alan’s image if she lost it in front of them.
It was not a secret that most people in the court did not favor Alan as the Crown Prince, they still hoped Prince Kellan to reclaim the throne, especially when a decade had passed and the incident had faded away from people’s minds.
They still thought Prince Kellan suited the role more and was up to their expectations, more so, people loved him. He won the public’s hearts, while Alan only created trouble after trouble.
“Meet me in my place right away after cleaning up yourself,” Lady Cyan said in a stern voice and Alan could only agree timidly.
Once Lady Cyan was out of sight, Alan lifted his head and glared at the royal warriors around him. “Call the healer and treat that creature! If he dies, all of you will die too!” He roared, venting out his frustration.
He really wanted to torture that diamond white tiger again, but that creature would die if he beat him for one more time, more so, he was the last of his kind and it would be a waste if he had to die just like that.
Iris lifted her head when she sensed someone enter the room and her lips tugged into a beautiful smile when she saw Cane walk in.
It was so rare for him to return to their bedroom at this hour. It was still afternoon and the weather was not as cold as before, thus Iris opened the window slightly to let the wind into the room, while she was reading her book.
Hanna was away, thus she didn’t want to go out alone. She didn’t want to run into those members of the royal family, especially Nala or Lou.
“Have you eaten?” Cane asked. He approached Iris and glanced at the book in her hand. She was still reading the information about this continent and the long history of the twelve packs in this kingdom.
“Not yet,” Iris said, she put away her book. She gave him her full attention.
“Do you want to have lunch with me?”
Iris was surprised to read that invitation, because she thought Cane only came for changing his clothes or taking something that he forgot, but he actually came to ask her to have lunch with him?
“Yes, I would love to.” She perked up, her eyes shone brightly like the blue sky.
“Change your dress, we will go for a ride.” Cane took the book that Iris was reading and opened it casually.
“We will go for a ride?” Iris blinked her eyes. “Where are we going?”
